Negative Scanner

Description

Debut album from Chicago band formed from the ashes of Tyler Jon Tyler. Furious & snarling post-punk. Negative Scanner have been destroying rooms in Chicagos vibrant DIY since 2012, earning well-deserved accolades as one of the cities best live bands. Their electrifying debut album finds the band taking on all comers; guitarist / vocalist Rebecca Valeriano-Flores gutteral howl & lyrics have gained confidence over the course of the bands previous two singles in 2014 (their debut on Trouble In Mind & it s follow-up on Tall Pat Records). The band (guitarist Matt Revers, bassist Nathan Beaudoin & drummer Tom Cassling) have evolved into a lurching, post-punk tornado furiously spinning into near-chaos but never leaving the bands capable control. The albums opener Ivy League Asshole sets the tone feral & ragged guitars chug over the rhythm section & Flores manic yelp spits out lyrics borne out of confusion, agression, domination & submission to life, living, lovers & beyond. The albums eleven tracks in 28 minutes fly by the lsitener, threatening whiplash but begging to be replayed. Negative Scanner s s/t debut was recorded by the band themselves in their practice space, mixed by Mike Lust s Phantom Mobile Unit & mastered by Australian legend Mikey Young (Total Control/Eddy Current Suppression Ring). It is issued on CD & LP (black vinyl) & includes a download code.
